Steel look bi-fold doors complete stunning Colchester renovation
The Lawson family had considered moving, but instead opted to stay and get the very best out of their Colchester home, with a beautiful open plan kitchen, dining and lounge living space for their young family. Replacing French doors and a single window, the family chose our heritage, steel look, aluminium bi-fold doors to flood light into their newly created space.
“My husband wanted bi-folds, I wanted the steel industrial look without it being too obvious, this was the perfect compromise.”
Having considered a number of aluminium bi-fold door installers, the Lawsons were drawn to our Sunflex heritage doors for the high quality, slim profile frames which maximise light and the view into the garden, and because of how they stood out against the others:
“They create the wow factor, our bit of luxury. Whenever anyone comes around it’s the first thing they notice.”


The Lawson family decided upon a 5-panel system, with the first door also acting as a single back door when needed.
“I’m surprised how often we have them open. It’s so easy to do! I thought it would be more for the adults, but it’s great for the kids too. Sometimes we open 3 of the panels and not all 5.”
When asked if they would recommend the doors, Mrs Lawson answered:
“Yes definitely. I’m so glad we paid that little bit extra because you can tell the quality”.
